That immortal match (5)

I believe the answer is:

vesta

I believe this is a double definition.

'that immortal' is the first definition.
(Vesta is an example)

'match' is the second definition.
(type of historical wooden match)

(Other definitions for vesta that I've seen before include "Roman goddess; match" , "heavenly body" , "Stave (anag.)" , "Asteroid; goddess; match" , "Roman goddess of the hearth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
